Topics covered:

Autumn 1

WWII

Ever wondered what war feels like? How did people learn to survive? Travel back in time to the early 20^th century and discover what life was like in the woeful Second Word War. As historians, we will look at the events which led to the outbreak of the WW2, examine how the conflict affected children’s lives- particularly in Sheffield- and explore the concepts of evacuation and rationing discovering why such desperate measures were necessary. Finally, we will conclude the topic by investigating D-Day and the allied counterattack signalling the beginning of the end of the war. We will visit Eden Camp (an award-winning WW2 Museum) to immerse ourselves in war torn Britain.
